Plastic resealable bags

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Knead the flour into the sugar cookie dough until smooth. Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out as many 3 1/4-inch circles with a cookie cutter or rim of a glass. Transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets, about an inch apart. Remove a 2 1/4-inch circle from one edge of half of the cookies to make the "helmet" shape. Re-roll the scraps and repeat the above directions to make a total of 10 helmets.

Step 3

Bake until the cookies are golden and firm to the touch, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

Step 4

Tint 1 cup of the vanilla frosting pale pink by combining the red and yellow food coloring. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting with the blue food coloring and spoon it into a plastic resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting yellow and spoon into a plastic resealable bag. Lastly, spoon the chocolate frosting into a plastic resealable bag. Press out the excess air and seal all the bags.

Step 5

Place the blue sugar in a shallow bowl. Next, microwave the corn syrup in another small bowl. Working on one "helmet" cookie at a time, lightly brush the top of the cookie with corn syrup. Dip the top of the cookie in the blue sugar to coat. Repeat with the remaining "helmet" cookies.

Step 6

Spread the light pink frosting on top of the whole cookies and make smooth. Place a "helmet" cookie on top, pressing into the frosting to secure.

Step 7

Snip a small 1/8-inch corner from each of the bags that contain frosting. Using the photo as a guide, pipe the blue frosting "bangs" on top of the cookies. Pipe several circles of the yellow frosting around the face area. Pipe two dots of yellow frosting at the top edge of the cookie and add the red candies as Geo's antennae. Add the brown candies as the eyes, and pipe a mouth using the chocolate frosting.
